Paroles et traduction Banda Bassotti - Gracias a la Vida

Gracias a la Vida

Gracias a la vida, que me ha dado tanto
Me dio dos luceros que, cuando los abro
Perfecto distingo lo negro del blanco
Y en el alto cielo, su fondo estrellado
Y en las multitudes, el hombre que yo amo

Gracias a la vida, que me ha dado tanto
Me ha dado el sonido y el abecedario
Con él, las palabras que pienso y declaro
Madre, amigo, hermano y luz alumbrando
La ruta del alma del que estoy amando

Gracias a la vida, que me ha dado tanto
Me ha dado el oído que en todo su ancho
Graba noche y día, grillos y canarios
Martillos, turbinas, ladrillos, chubascos
Y la voz tan tierna de mi bien amado

Gracias a la vida, que me ha dado tanto
Me ha dado la marcha de mis pies cansados
Con ellos anduve ciudades y charcos
Playas y desiertos, montañas y llanos
Y la casa tuya, tu calle y tu patio

Gracias a la vida, que me ha dado tanto
Me dio el corazón, que agita su marco
Cuando miro el fruto del cerebro humano
Cuando miro el bueno tan lejos del malo
Cuando miro el fondo de tus ojos claros

Gracias a la vida, que me ha dado tanto
Me ha dado la risa y me ha dado el llanto
Así yo distingo dicha de quebranto
Los dos materiales que forman mi canto
Y el canto de ustedes que es mi propio canto
Gracias a la vida que me ha dado tanto

Gracias a la vida que me ha dado tanto
Ay-ay-ay-ay-eh

Thanks to Life

Thanks to life, that has given me so much
It gave me two bright eyes, that when I open them
I can clearly distinguish black from white
And in the high sky, its starry background
And in the crowds, the man I love

Thanks to life, that has given me so much
It has given me the sound and the alphabet
With it, the words that I think and speak
Mother, friend, brother and guiding light
The path of the soul of the one I love

Thanks to life, that has given me so much
It has given me the hearing that in all its breadth
Records night and day, crickets and canaries
Hammers, turbines, bricks, showers
And the tender voice of my beloved

Thanks to life, that has given me so much
It has given me the march of my tired feet
With them I have walked through cities and puddles
Beaches and deserts, mountains and plains
And your house, your street and your patio

Thanks to life, that has given me so much
It gave me the heart, that flutters in my chest
When I see the fruit of the human brain
When I see the good so far from the bad
When I look into your clear eyes

Thanks to life, that has given me so much
It has given me laughter and it has given me tears
Thus I distinguish joy from sorrow
The two ingredients that make up my song
And the song of you which is my own song
Thanks to life that has given me so much

Thanks to life that has given me so much
Ay-ay-ay-ay-eh
